Abstract
A wireless communications device includes application logic and scheduling logic. The scheduling logic allows a user to create and maintain a schedule of events the user is interested in, and notifies the user of a scheduled event based on event data stored in memory of the wireless communications device. The application logic interfaces with the scheduling logic to determine when the scheduled event will occur, and generates a request for directions to a location of the scheduled event. The request may include event data associated with the scheduled event. A server receives the request and determines the directions based on the event data. The server sends the directions to the wireless communications device, which displays the directions to the user.
